Tanked Faust in sky. It was an interesting experience. Hadn't really tried tanking in first person view, except against Diablo. Its pretty handy against him with your back against the wall so he doesn't smack you around the room.

Faust is a fun fight, I recently had to tank him for over 15 minutes, used Sentinel three times! We were rushing to claim against another LS and several members died getting there/claiming. At the end even the other LS was bowing to me and cheering me on. I think we had like 6 people for the first 10 minutes, it was a highlight for me for sure.

I've been obsessed with raising my HP, so 24 hours after the servers reset for the update, me and boyfriend, along with about 10-15 more people are camping Bloodsucker for Bloodbead Ring, and I got claim, along with 1/1 drop!! My boyfriend as rdm/blm soloed him, but what a rush, 50 more hp whee!

I going to say congrats and I hate you, 0/16 on the drop, I gave up. :P

this is an accomplishment for all of you new plds that dont know yet... once you establish yourself as a decent/good pld. You are pigeon holed into PLD.

A few weeks ago I and a few others killed Miser Murphy. Not a big deal to most but that ******* kills me every time and I straight up blood tanked it as PLD/RDM. The party was 75pld/rdm,(me) 74pld/rdm, 74thf/nin, and 63rdm/??? thats right no whm to spam cure. it was a tough fight but I felt awesome afterward.

EDIT: I did some research in DRK forum, sounds like Subduer is top notch gsword. There was a DRK in my PT too and I didn't know he doesn't have this gsword. I honestly thought this gsword was more like a toy weapon. I guess shouldn't have lot on it :(

Yay!!! Good job Furby!! Any good drops? I was going to come last night, but my PC decided that now was a good time to crap out on me. I need to figure out whether it is hardware or software. We had a big thunderstorm last week where the power went out.

Ouch that sucks, hope you get it figured out soon. We got Legs Feet and Body, so I'd consider it a win all around.

After deciding to play smn/whm/blm for a lil while, I got bored and decided to put back on my trusty armor and play pld again. Dinged 35, learned how to use Cover, and am currently loving the auto refresh.

Beat 6-4 just last night, as pld no less XD. 29 hi-potions, 4 yag drinks, stacked on the hp and mp, and took off. Whm, Pld, Blm, Rng, Drg, and Mnk, think it took 3 dry runs and finally the real one. After what must've been 35+ runs (over the past 3 or 4 months), we finally beat it. We were at like 10% on Ultima when I died, whm had already bene'd, blm, mnk, drg and I had all 2hr'ed, had used RR hairpin, so I get up, Cure II, and take off to try to finish him off. The ranger managed to 2hr right before he died, I berserked and defeated him. Lol, 1 19-point hit and Ultima was dead. Finally! ^^

Dinged 75 last night. ^^ This was actually quite an accomplishment for me, all things considered.

Been 74 for the past... 5 months(?), which was about the same time it took me to get from 60-74...>.>; I believe WotG came out around the time I dinged 74 pld. Then I decided being a Flash Dancer warranted putting pld on hold and even paid homage to pld/dnc. I didnt need /dance1-4, I was the real thing lol.

There were other distractions since then which kept delaying the inevitable (ie - playing schedule change, friend needed his hauby back) but if I had to solo 42k xp, (which i ended up doing, sans campaign, since my computer broke down recently and my ps2 didnt have the wotg expansion set) and if I had to cap my combat skills (screen all blue as of 74) and break latency on sapara of trials and pole of trials, so be it.
